Far-right MEPs heckled EU Commission president Ursula von der Leyen while she called them names in Strasbourg on Monday (7 July), in a failed bid to oust her from her post.
The level of shouting and jeering during von der Leyen's speech saw EU Parliament president Roberta Metsola intervene three times to call for quiet.
The debate was a small moment of triumph for populist MEPs after a Romanian right-winger, Gheorghe Piperea, tabled a motion of censure against the commission on grounds of von der Leyen's allegedly improper SMS-es with US vaccine-maker Pfizer during Covid.
The motion, to be voted Thursday, is doomed to fail after the main centre-right, centre-left, liberal, green, and left-wing groups all declared they would vote against it.
The right-wing ECR group was split and its MEPs were left free to vote either way.
But the stunt still gave far-right MEPs, such as Fabrice Leggeri and René Aust from the Patriots for Europe (PfE) and Europe of Sovereign Nations (ESN) groups, an opportunity to demonise the EU's top official.
Leggieri accused von der Leyen of "bureaucratic authoritarianism ... abuse of power ... strangulation [of farmers] ... [and] censorship of the people".
Aust accused her of "consultancy corruption" in her time as German defence minister, of building specially adapted "tanks for pregnant women", and helping to flood the EU with "social migrants", as well as "Pfizergate".
Meanwhile, von der Leyen fired back, calling her accusers "extremists ... iliberals ... conspiracy theorists ... anti-vaxxers ... [and] Putin apologists", referring to Russian president Vladimir Putin, whom the PfE and ESN groups leant towards.
The motion of censure was a "crude attempt" to sow division in Brussels, she said.
"Listen ... just listen ...", she disciplined her hecklers on a few occasions.

Might was well just call them all Left Wing, since they all are.

***************************************************
“Putin apologists”? Jeez, globalist von der Leyen is adopting ZEEPER language.
Anything right of Trotsy is called “FAR RIGHT” in the EU.
I don’t think it is my imagination. The female politicians have gotten MUCH more attractive over the last few decades.
von der Leyen Is the EU Building Slut.
